Let the madness begin!

I will be rather indisposed for the next two weeks as Nutcracker mania has officially begun. Only 13 performances this year, though. :-D Last night's rehearsal was interesting. I'm the understudy for Mrs. Stahlbaum (Clara's mother) and the director had me go in for one of the run-throughs. And it actually went OK. The girl who had to go in for me was...not so good. She's new this year and doesn't quite get the whole "acting" thing that you have to do during the show, in addition to the dancing. Anyway, first show is Friday. Should be good. :-D

Aw, thanks!! I do have DVDs and perhaps if you ever get out here for another con or something we can pop it in!! :-)

if you have dvd's then you can make screen caps and post pics, right? I want to see pics because I'm just visual that way. Pretty please.

Have fun tomorrow, hope everything goes as planned.

Hmm, I can try... I might have to figure out creative cropping as there are likely to be children in every shot. The camera men like children more than the adults. Even when they're just sitting on the side and we're the ones dancing. What do they focus on? The kids looking bored. Great, thanks.
